Where to watch

The Peanut Butter Falcon

Synopsis

A down-on-his-luck crab fisherman embarks on a journey to get a young man with Down syndrome to a professional wrestling school in rural North Carolina and away from the retirement home where he’s lived for the past two and a half years.

if you ask my friends i watched the entire movie looking like that gif of Lenny at the awards show but inside i felt like a nice warm smile come to life! funny and nice and easy in a 2007 indie film kinda way, for better and worse! (give dakota johnson something interesting to do she deserves better)

On paper, “The Peanut Butter Falcon” sounds like a cursed film; like a straight-faced parody of the quirkiest and most nauseatingly schematic American indies. The title alone takes you back to the awful darkness of “Napoleon Dynamite,” and the premise — a winsome young wrestling fan with Down syndrome escapes from his care facility with the help of a depressed crab fisherman played by Shia LaBeouf — could’ve been cobbled together by a computer program that’s been fed 20 years’ worth of rejected Sundance scripts.

And the opening few minutes of the actual movie, in which our hero attempts a cute and kooky jailbreak while a banjo-tinged b-side from the “Beasts of the Southern Wild” score wails on the soundtrack,…

a family doesn't have to be a wife, a husband, a daughter and a son, sometimes a family can be a crazy ass crab fisherman who burns $12,000 worth of shit cause he got denied selling his stolen goods, a 22-year-old with down syndrome who runs away from his retirement home to purse his long time dream of becoming a wrestler and his uptight carer who is looking for him everywhere and so conveniently runs into both of them

I'm going to start this off by saying, everyone that even has a small interest in seeing this, please go out and do so. I drove out an hour to check this out because I think it's important to go out and support films like these regardless if you enjoy the final product or not. Which by the way I absolutely adored this.

While I have heard that this is the feel-good movie you need to see, what I loved most was that it wasn't trying so hard like most films do. This felt honest and real, but also has that magical touch that gives it its charm.

Man... this movie really did a number on me. Such a wholesome and inspiring story. I was either cracking a wide smile or crying. I couldn't help but fall in love with this film, the story, and it's wide range of bare boned characters. One of the best of 2019. Definitely my favourite of 2019 after watching this.

this movie is so endearing omg. a really good pick me up. i loved shia’s performance, his character has a tough exterior but has a warm heart. zak’s child like curiosity is what makes it wholesome. i loved it
